O.J. Simpson was screwing the families of his victims ’til the very end, it seems.
The fallen football star famously skated for the 1994 murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. But in 1996 he was found liable for both deaths in civil court, and he was supposed to pay the families $33million in damages.
Most of his income was supposed to go towards paying off the vast sum.
But Page Six is told that Simpson made a decent living after his 2017 release from jail on an unrelated charge — but paid the Brown and Goldman families virtually nothing by running a substantial ring of all-cash business dealings.
We’re told that the onetime NFL and Hollywood star mostly made his money by doing private autograph signings and demanding stacks of bills for things like podcast appearances — and even charging people to play golf with him.
“He would sign anything except anything that had to do with the trial or murder,” we’re told. “The stipulation was always that he had to be paid in cash.”
Simpson, who died Thursday after a battle with prostate cancer, still owed a massive amount of money to the family.
In fact, we’re told he had only paid $123,000 of the balance. “With being paid everything in cash, there was no way to document how much money he had access to,” we’re told.
Simpson’s Heisman Trophy was sold off to help settle the debt, and proceeds from this abandoned book, “If I Did It” might also have made a dent in it.
But any serious earning power he might have had came to an end with his 2008 conviction for armed robbery related to a dispute over sports memorabilia.
